American League
23 Daric Barton OAK 1B B+ Having a pretty good June - .500/.545/.700. Just 5 HR in 275 at-bats but more power will come.
24 Adam Jones SEA OF B+ In 163 fewer at-bats, he's already tied last year's HR total (17). Yeah it's the PCL, but still...
27 Ryan Sweeney CHW OF B If he weren't hitting .219 in his last 10 games, a beleagured White Sox team could have used him.
28 Sean Rodriguez LAA SS B .278 in June, but has been up and down. 73% contact rate is a concern and he should be a LF soon.
30 Bill Rowell BAL 3B B .279/.347/.432 in 111 at-bats. Needs to improve 72% contact rate.
5 Clay Buchholz BOS SP A- 111:19 K:BB in 80IP. Time for Triple-A. Can't see BOS parting with him for Buehrle.
6 Adam Miller CLE SP A Back after a finger injury and threw a hitless inning on Monday.
8 Andrew Miller DET SP A- Tigers did the right thing and moved Durbin to the pen so Miller stays in the rotation.
10 Kevin Slowey MIN SP A- Has promise, but 15 K in 27 1/3 innings will make it tough. Even worse - 9 HR in 5 starts.
11 Nick Adenhart LAA SP A- Showing much better command this month, resulting in a 3.46 ERA after a 7.13 June mark.

22 Joey Votto CIN 1B B .316/.422/.480 and a .373 AVG since April. Reds are going nowhere, so he could be up soon.
25 Matt LaPorta MIL OF B+ A curious pick since he's more of a 1B/DH, but great bat and Brewers think he can handle LF.
33 Mark Reynolds ARI 3B B He's a part-timer with Tracy back from the DL, but there's nothing for him left to prove in AAA.
37 Angel Villalona SF 3B B 4-for-10 with 2 walks in his rookie ball debut. Great talent, but how do you evaluate 16 year-olds?
40 Neil Walker PIT 3B B Adapting well to 3B defensively and offensively (.925 OPS). Should be 08 Opening Day 3B.
26 Carlos Carrasco PHI SP B Promoted to AA after great run in the High-A Florida State League.
28 Phillip Humber NYM SP B This is more like it: last start allowed three hits over seven shutout innings to lower ERA to 4.46.
29 Will Inman MIL SP B Two awful AA starts and one solid one result in a 13.50 AA ERA after he had a 1.72 mark in High-A.
30 Johnny Cueto CIN SP B Allowed one run in six innings in his AA debut. Has flown under the radar, but that could change.
32 Josh Outman PHI SP B 1.33 ERA in June, but 83:44 K:BB is what's stopping PHI from promoting him to AA.
